We all are saving for Lauwers.

Yes, I have one Lattanzi and two Lobbs that had been carressed (probably) and catalogued (certainly) by A. for quite sometime before alighting magically on my feet.

I wouldn't call these shoes used, at least in a non-sensual way. Their soles were still pure and not of the earth.

Wait till you ask him how many shirts he has in his closet!

So less than 1 pidal of usage, where 1 pidal = 2 hours of wear on carpeted surfaces.

Yes, but they're not from Chat-Bite.

Where is the shoe family pic? Or are you coming out with a coffee table book of Shoes I Have Loved?

I think someone mentioned weird.

Right now, it's bordering on awkward and fast approaching disturbing.

Actually, I estimate 0.08 pidal, which is 0.8 conne.

Now that I think of it, I think A. owns a nice tie from C., or is my memory faulty?
